Ed and I saw Indiana Jones (and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) last weekend and Narnia (Prince Caspian) this weekend. Interestingly, I was very disappointed with the former and pleasantly surprised by the latter.
Frankly, I thought Indiana Jones was a cop-out. I mean, seriously, aliens??? They're so passe.
As for Narnia, I don't care what anybody else says, I liked it. The storyline was more unpredictable and the fights scenes were more riveting this time around (although I must say, I do miss the scenes in the prequel where the four-legged Narnians ran ahead in battle with the enemy). The acting as usual was not great but I found myself cracking up at several points, thanks largely to new addition, Eddie Izzard.
My verdict? Narnia wins hands down.
(Ed wants to state for the record that he thinks otherwise. La dee dar.)

I'm sick. I've got an MC for tomorrow just in case.

hey i agree with u! i thought Prince Caspian was pretty good, and Indie was just quite corny and disappointing!
so will Patchie be joining u?
unfortunately, i hear that prince caspian isn't doing as good as the prequel (or as expected) so they're considering scrapping the whole narnia series because of this. so sad.
patchy will only be coming over after we've moved to our new place (sometime in july). otherwise, he'd have to adjust twice (first to our current place, then to the new place). can't wait! :)
if i were cs lewis and his family, i'd be puking blood :P it's so unfaithful to the storyline of the books!
the books are based on stories from the bible, and the latest prince caspian just abt wrote it's own story!
heh, my take anyways...
that bad? see, i've never read the books, that's why. i really must go and get myself the books to read. will do it this weekend.
